Il Monte Caro Valpolicella Superiore DOC

Valpolicella is one of those red wines that's such a classic and worthwhile staple because it's just so versatile. As with all the wines in this appellation, it leans heavy on Corvina, a grape almost exclusively found in Italy's Veneto region. With support from Corvinone and Rondinella grapes, the resulting wine shows bright cherry notes and just enough tannin structure to make you want to enjoy this wine with some red meat. That said, it's not too heavy, and does feel light and juicy enough that you could enjoy this wine with lighter proteins like poultry or bean dishes, or you could even enjoy it as an apertif.
